    Amazon Drops Dolby Vision & Atmos

    My Prime subscription auto-renewed in December. I'll drop it this December. I'm not happy about the downgrades of their streaming service and Prime delivery went from 2 days to random number of days. It's not a budget issue for me so much as refusing to pay scam artists.

    Blue Beetle

    I usually don't want another origin story but this character needed one. I hope they make more.

    What are you playing right now...

    I am also playing Andromeda. At least they made the combat fun and there are a lot of ways to build a character. When I finish that, I have a Cyberpunk character on pause. I did a build based around throwing knives that was pretty fun so far.

    What are you playing right now...

    I dug out Mass Effect Andromeda after seeing a YouTube video for a character build. Currently getting my butt kicked regularly because I have crap gear in the early game on insanity difficulty.

    The Batman - Spoiler Free

    I've watched it three times now. I like it a lot and I can't decide if it's better than The Dark Knight but it's definitely up there.

    What are you watching tonight?

    I agree with all of this. I switched my internet to AT&T and get HBOMax included. I suspended Netflix and got Disney+. I can tell right away I won't have it for long after I finish bingeing SW and Marvel content. There may be a few odd Disney movies worth watching but I'm not really into the kid...

    LG OLED C1 Series 65 for $1800 or is there something else to take a look at?

    I've had the C1 since last May. I picked it over the A80J because I game on Series X a lot. The picture quality is great but WebOS is pretty annoying. I don't even use the apps, I just switch inputs between console and AVR and occasionally use OTA TV. I turned off auto updates and now it nags me...

    What are you watching tonight?

    Last night I watched The East on HBOMax. It's kind of a low budget thriller/drama about a woman who infiltrates an eco-terrorist group for a private security company. It was written by and starts Brit Marling whom you may know from The OA.

    What are you playing right now...

    Hey, hope you got you speaker thing figured out. :) I check in most days but I don't have a lot to say. My gear situation is pretty sorted. I probably post more here and in the movies subforum.

    What are you playing right now...

    I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 again. I was hoping to wait for the next gen update before playing it again but I got tempted to play it now. I have to finish Halo 5 so I can play Infinite although I've completely lost the story. Is there a fan site anywhere that sums up the plot of the series? Jim

    What are you watching tonight?

    Last night I started Arcane, the animated series on Netflix. I know nothing about League of Legends but I got sucked in to the story. Jim

    Cowboy Bebop - Netflix

    I'm a fan of the anime and I like the Netflix adaptation well enough. It probably helped that they got Yoko Kanno to do the soundtrack. Overall it seemed pretty Cowboy Bebop-ish. They really focused on the Spike/Vicious/Julia triangle. If there's another season, I'd like to see more about Faye's...

    Movies that are so bad they're good.

    Man From Earth is one of my perennial favorites. I also made the mistake of watching the sequel. That was just bad. I don't think the original was bad. It didn't need a big budget for what it was trying to do.

    OMG, that looks hilariously bad. I hadn't heard of that movie.

    Dune (2020) from Villeneuve

    I've watched it twice now. I picked up a few things that I missed the first time. Overall, I think this was a pretty good take on the material. It didn't get bogged down in all the worldbuilding details and had fewer obvious infodumps.

    What are you watching tonight?

    I remember when I had to get a region free player because the only way I could get Night On Earth was a DVD from another region. I have the Blu from Criterion now. I liked all the vignettes but Roberto Benigni had me rolling on the floor.

    Buying advice for an OLED TV in Nov. 2021

    Unfortunately, despite the resemblance, TVs and monitors are completely different things. TVs do a bunch of stuff that monitors don't have to do. Good luck and I hope the A80J works out for you. It's a great TV.

    Buying advice for an OLED TV in Nov. 2021

    +1. You'll get a few years of updates, at most on your TV. Relying on the TV apps will not work out in the long run. I think getting some sort of streaming device is wiser.
